A fifth-generation Chilton County farm — Alabama's peach capital — where apples are genuinely secondary to peaches (2,500 apple trees versus 4,000 peach trees), grown across eight unnamed varieties available roughly late July into October.
Mountain View Orchards, in Jemison, Chilton County, Alabama, is a fifth-generation family farm dating to the early 1930s, about 45 minutes south of Birmingham — a genuinely different part of the state from the existing Hazel Green, Athens, Cullman, Mentone, Fackler, and Talladega cluster in this dataset. The honest framing here matters: Chilton County is Alabama’s peach capital, and this farm reflects that identity directly — 4,000 peach trees compared to 2,500 apple trees.
The tree count tells the real story: nearly 1.6 times as many peach trees as apple trees. That doesn’t mean apples aren’t a serious part of the operation — 2,500 trees across eight varieties is still substantial — but it does mean visitors coming specifically for the apple experience should understand they’re visiting what’s fundamentally a peach farm that also grows apples well, rather than an apple-focused destination.
The eight apple varieties aren’t specified by name in any source checked — only the count itself is confirmed, from an aggregator-type summary rather than the orchard’s own site. If a specific variety matters to your visit, that’s a direct question for a phone call.
The orchard’s own site names “Peaches & Apples” as a product line but doesn’t itself state whether picking is u-pick or pre-picked. The Chilton County Chamber of Commerce member directory fills that gap, explicitly categorizing the business as “Orchards/U-Pick” and confirming the same phone number and address as the farm’s own site — a solid cross-reference even without a single unified source.
Apples are described as available “late July into October” in general terms, rather than as a confirmed 2026-specific date range. Given the farm’s peach-first identity, it’s plausible the apple season is treated as a secondary offering that ramps up alongside or after the peach season, but that’s not something this record can confirm precisely.

Mountain View Orchards is a legitimate, long-running Chilton County stop for both peaches and apples, but set your expectations correctly: this is peach country first.
